In hopes of helping others make healthy decisions in life I want to share my personal aspirations to be pure and comfortable in my own space. When you feel happy inside it shows on the outside and you will naturally have an intense propinquity with other people who are content within.

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear

My goal is to write spiritual entries that offer positive thoughts to my readers. You will see when you gain momentum of happiness, those who feel they are victims of life, incapable of taking control of their happiness; will drop out of your circle. Take care of yourself and others will notice your natural glow, your desire to be in peace and your will to survive.

Recently, while shopping at Costco, doing my monthly routine I ran into an old friend from high school. I recognized her and she was quick to smile and start a conversation. I could sense her immediate attraction to me and her curiosity to know about my life. All within 30 seconds of our meeting, she said, ‘Hey how are you? Wow is that your daughter? You look so different and thin, what are you doing?’

In reality, I actually weigh more than I did in high school, I just carry myself differently and I have more self confidence. I spent the last ten years in the gym and have a different body composition to show for it. I never got surgery or went on a diet, I simply take care of myself, because if I don’t then who will?

A person who doesn’t breathe deeply reduces the life of his body. If he doesn’t move freely, he restricts the life of his body. If he doesn’t feel fully, he narrows the life of his body. And if his self-expression is constricted, he limits the life of his body

I exercise, not just for my physical body, but also for a piece of mind. At the end of the day, no matter what events occurred, I always feel accomplished. Even if I never make it to the gym, I find quite time to practice moving meditation, in my home. My passion for physical strength grants me happiness, positive vibes, fun, energy, focus, and a natural high. I enjoy functional training and yoga, as it allows me to: challenge myself, release tension and sometimes anger, take a break, be alone, compete, satisfy my desires, indulge, be extreme, have pride, take control, be prepared, love myself and finally to appreciate others more.

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?

A work out is not complete without a nutritious meal and hydration. I truly believe nutrition is a way of living; it’s how we nurture our body and mind with fuel we need to survive. Eating whole foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and protein help the body replenish energy burned. It is also important to hydrate your muscles post workout. I enjoy coconut water and filtered tap water from my handy canteen that I never leave home without.

From one yogi to another,

The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in

Story of My Life

After graduating from SCSU, New Haven, CT, right before the severe economic downturn, I was fortunate to get a fulltime opportunity. At the time I was a personal trainer and had a strong client base; however I desired to use the knowledge I attained in my degree, BS in Business Management. I accepted an entry-level position to manage various fundraising and consumer publication lists at Direct Media, Greenwich, CT. Some of the direct response lists I managed were for very prestigious clients (March of Dimes, Covenant House, American Kennel Club, and Discover Magazine). I also managed a compiled list, Touchpoint; a new type of database that had accumulated survey data from social mediums & other online survey applications.

While I gained great work experience and grew my network over the 4 years of 9-5 office work; I felt as if I was tied down to the day-to-day mundane customer service tasks. It was time to make a change, get out of the corporate scene and work for a startup, TheMap NYC. In this position I am able to fulfill full-service direct and digital marketing management. The main objective is to sell print and online ads. I enjoy personal selling and face-to-face meetings with high-end retail clients in Manhattan and SOHO, NY. I also get the independence to create online acquisition and retention campaigns. After conducting extensive market research I have persuaded the founder of the two sided market idea. I than was granted funding to launch a social media campaign, to secure a tourist fan base and have focused on direct and e-mail marketing for the merchants. The flexibility in this sales job has allotted time to go back to school and pursue an MBA with a concentration in Marketing.

I hold very high expectations and can foresee myself in a leadership position in ten years from now. Currently I am learning tricks to create a multi-channel campaign; mostly for my blog: www.HealthyorNot2020.wordpress.com. From the long-term relationships I have built in the past 6 years, I understand niche small businesses are vulnerable in the current turbulent society. With an integrated marketing communication campaign HealthyOrNot will withstand commoditization in the global market space. I am creating a unique marketing strategy; looking beyond traditional media. My strategy is to embrace the new mobile trend, send customized messages to reach customers from various channels and embark on new ways to measure the customer experience.
